Had been on nearby slopes underneath Timber Peak earlier in the year for work and decided I really had to go to the top of the range at some point. Stopped off on the way to Albuquerque and got to the top just in time to watch the sunset.

Climbed South Baldy via Trail #11 starting from 7,600 ft. 7.6 mi round trip. Deep snow above 8,800 ft all the way to the summit (snowshoes came handy). It was snowing most of the time, but cleared up just to get some views from summit ridge.

Climbed up and back via the Copper Canyon trail. Kinda monotonous on the approach but stellar views from the ridge crest and the summit. Plenty of mines and geocaches around to keep things extra interesting!

Climbed up to South Baldy via Copper Canyon, and shuttled down the road. The hike seemed long through the canyon, but once on the ridge the hike was extremely pleasant. The views are expansive and spectacular. Admittedly, it did seem a bit of a let down to crest the last ridge and see a road and the observatory. On the bright side...it was nice to take a car back down.

Took the North Baldy Trail shortly after sunrise, cut the NE ridge to the summit. Nice easy hike, less than a half mile with 470 feet net elevation gain. Nice views, less the industrial clutter on the summit.
